Meet the McGowen’s
Welcome to Gigi’s New Orleans Sno Balls, home of the cheesecake stuffed sno-ball!
Gigi’s is a labor of love and a taste of Nola flavor from owners Terry and Renae. As a child, Dr. Renae (a retired educator) was gifted with a Snoopy Sno Cone machine and fell in love with the cold sweet treat, and her dream of owning a Sno Cone business was born! During COVID-19, Renae shared her lifelong dream with her husband Terry. Her vision was to have this New Orleans treat made from the softest shaved ice and tastes of the richest flavors and to bring joy to all who tasted it. As a lupus survivor, Renae wanted everyone to “feel better” no matter what they faced after tasting the sweet treats. The couple dove into all things “sno ball” and the idea for Gigi’s was born!
